In a recent announcement on October 2, Spotify revealed its plan to raise Premium subscription prices in several countries, including the Philippines, Germany, and South Africa. This change is part of a broader global update.
Starting soon, listeners in the Philippines will need to pay higher monthly fees to enjoy ad-free, on-demand music at a higher quality. The Individual Premium plan, for example, will begin at PHP149.
However, existing Premium subscribers will have a two-month grace period before the new prices take effect. They can opt to cancel before this period ends if they prefer to keep their current subscription rate.
Here’s a summary of the new Premium prices in the Philippines, as listed on Spotify’s official website:
The Premium subscription provides various benefits, such as enhanced music quality, offline listening, an ad-free experience, no listening restrictions, and cross-border music access.
Spotify has assured that all Premium users will receive email notifications regarding this price adjustment. The company is working to inform subscribers in a timely manner.
For those currently on trial offers, the new pricing will take effect after the original trial period ends, allowing them to enjoy the trial at the existing rates for the next two months.
It’s important for users to check their Spotify account page to determine their next billing date and understand how this change will impact their subscription.
